Product description

More about the series Aspen...

Ideally suited to challenging astronomy and physical science imaging applications, the Apogee Aspen family offers a range of popular full frame and interline CCD sensors, within a camera platform that is designed to push performance to the maximum.

  • Deep thermoelectric cooling ensures optimal sensitivity for long exposure applications.
  • The simple convenience of a USB 2.0 interface is accompanied by an Ethernet network interface with a built-in web server.
  • The Apogee Aspen also utilizes a new extremely high reliability shutter, specified for >5 million shutter cycles.

The Aspen CG42 has a back-illuminated full frame 1 megapixel CCD with very high quantum efficiency (>90% @550nm). The standard midband coating provides the highest peak in the visible range.

Cooling down to 60°C below ambient results in a low dark current contribution. These features combine to make the Aspen CG42 an exceptionally versatile performer, and an ideal solution for many astronomy or physical science applications requiring high sensitivity and a large field of view.
